Kick Your Cold in the Butt Chicken Enchilada Soup (Kristi Original)

We keep getting sick in our house. I was tired of eating chicken noodle soup, so I decided to create my own get better soup. I added....

• Chicken Broth, which is supposed to help colds. 
• Spicy Ingredients...jalapeno peppers, spicy sausage, green chilies, chili beans, to clear the sinuses.  
• Garlic, fights infections and boosts the immune system

I honestly couldn't taste much of the soup due to illness, but I think it was good. It sure helped clear my sinuses, so I'll be making it again. 

Ingredients
1- 48oz Box Chicken Broth
4-6 Chicken Breasts (I used frozen boneless/skinless)
1/2-1Lb Hot Italian or Pork Sausage - Browned, Crumbled and Drained
1 - 10oz can Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies
1 - 10oz Red Enchilada Sauce (I used mild)
1 - 15.5oz can Dark Red Kidney Beans - Drained
1 - 15.5oz can Seasoned Black Beans (Pour in with liquid)
1 - 15.5oz can Chili Beans (Seasoned) (Pour in with liquid)
1/2 - 4oz can of Hot Jalapeno Peppers
1 - Small/Medium Chopped Onion
1/2 - 12oz bag Frozen Corn
2 - Cloves of Garlic

Instructions
You can put everything in the crock pot and cook it. Before serving, shred the chicken and put it back in the crock pot.

Because I was home sick, here's what I did...
1. Put the chicken frozen chicken breasts, chicken broth and tomatoes with green chilies in the crock pot and cooked it on high for 3 hours.
2. Shredded the chicken and added it back into the crock pot.
3. Turned down the crock pot to low and added the remaining ingredients.
4. Cooked another few hours until we were ready to eat

Want the Soup Hotter
-Use Hot Enchilada Sauce
-Use the Whole Can of Jalapenos
-Use Hot Chili Beans
-Add Cayenne Pepper
-Use Habanero Peppers

Non Sick Soup Idea
I didn't add cheese because dairy is not good for colds, it's mucus forming. Therefore if you are NOT sick, add some Velveta or top with cheese.
